NIH Image can read 8-bit uncompressed TIFF files created on little-endian
DOS/Windows machines. Image 1.50(now in beta) adds the ability to import
16-bit TIFF files.

The least expensive frame grabber directly supported by NIH Image is
the Scion LG-3, which has a list price of $895. Scion's phone number is
301-695-7870. The Image 1.50 beta can acquire images from any Mac
frame grabber or scanner that has a Photoshop plug-in.
The current version of NIH Image(1.49), as well as the 1.50 beta, are
available by anonymous FTP from zippy.nimh.nih.gov[128.231.98.32],
in the /pub/image directory.
